First that all you are the boss, and that has 2 sides, first, make sure you are asking in the right way, make sure you are respectful with your employees, in the way you talk to them and in the kind of task you ask from them, and if it is in their capabilities, after that, if you think that you are not asking nothing out of this world, but you always get an attitude from this person, if it bother you that much, call her to the side, and ask her if she thinks she is up to the job, she will answer and probably will ask why, then you expose your point, that every time you ask for something she gives you and attitude, make sure you explain that a job is not personal, if she likes you or not as a boss, it has nothing to do with the reason she is there for, perform her task, and if it is too much for her she should consider a different position.
The second side is, YOU "ARE" the boss, and for that you are responsible for make sure everything works out right, you need things done, and need to work out any problem, even if you try to ignore it, remember, the rest of the employees are looking, and you need to keep their respect too, control, in yourself and in the others, is the key for management.

You didn't give any examples of her behaviour so I'll assume you mean she's defiant. The first step is to try to find out the reason for her behaviour. In a case like this, I would first determine if others in the group or department are having this same problem with her. If they are, then it's not something personal towards you. If not, then perhaps it is. Then bring her into an office with a female HR rep in attendance (this is to avoid a phony malicious sexual harassment complaint.) Explain to the employee that you have noticed on several occasions she has responded with a defiant attitude towards you. If others have noticed this, mention that. If not, ask if she has a person grief with you. Then ask her why she feels she needs to act this way. Her answer could range widely and there are many possibilities, too many for me to write. At this point, the HR rep can advise on what to do.
Best,

You must be new to the job of "boss". Of course, you would take her into your office and counsel her about her attitude. Then you would have her sign a paper stating that on that date she was counseled. Tell her it is not an admission of guilt, just a recognition that she was counseled. If she signs, then keep it in her file. Several counsellings on the same offense is grounds for termination. If she refuses to sign, then document that and let her go for insubordination. Check these steps with someone who happens to be higher up than you as policies differ in different companies.

Hmmm,
Do you think this girl has anything going on w/ YOUR boss?
If there's any possibility, 'give it some thought.
Otherwise,..
Either lay down some ground rules, since you're the boss OR get YOUR boss or other company superior to step in.
If you're the Big Boss, then,.. you've GOT to do the deed yourself.

Follow the steps in your company manual in regards to insubordation or poor attitude. Send her to HR for counciling. Just document it properly so that you can eventually separate this employee from the company.

You explain very gently that you are the boss and you would like her to do this or that.
You ask her if she would like some training or assistance in understanding how to do this or that.
You warn her once verbally, in private, and once in writing about her attitude.
You fire her!
She obviously does not want to do her job and you don't want staff morale to suffer.

If your female...it's possible she is just jealous and thinks she should be doing your job. Those type of people are frightening, and will go to any lengths to get you in trouble. Tread carefully and be sure to keep a good log of events before she gets worse. Think long and hard before you act it could turn nasty. Why not consult with your superior, before it gets out of hand.

What are you afraid of? If she is the employee, talk to her to change her attitude. If she continues acting the way she does, then fire her.
